If you want to self-host the [Literate Computing Dashboard](https://dashboard.literatecomputing.com/) will create your droplet, configure mailgun, send you an email with the DNS records you need to create; when you’ve created the records, it will install Discourse and send an email when it’s done. You’ll then have a [Standard Install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true).

Once you’re installed, you can use the Dashboard to do command line rebuilds:

You can also use the Dashboard to manage plugins:
